It’s Week 2 of my guest participation in the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling It Home and I’m back with another update on our Spa-Inspired Bathroom Makeover. If you missed last week’s post (week 1), please catch up here.
I thought I’d start today’s post with a photo I took of the bathroom of the hotel in Boston we recently stayed at, while on Spring Break. I love how modern and streamlined this bathroom looks. Of course, that’s before bathroom products and toiletries ruin the look and take over the counters and shower! 🙂 Although I would inject more color into this bathroom, this type of sleek and simple aesthetics appeal to me. Makes me think — So fresh, so clean.

Here’s a reminder of the current state of our bathroom. Getting down to work this week with painting! I spent most of the past week sourcing for products. Oh yeah, softball season just started for our 10 year-old daughter. She does travel softball and her 10U team won 2 tournaments this weekend! The best part was she got to pitch and did extremely well! I didn’t get to work on the bathroom over the weekend but cheering my daughter and her teammates on was well worth it. 🙂
I received so many wonderful comments last week about our bathroom project. In particular, everyone loved the inspiration photo below (Image courtesy of designer: Tracy Lynn Studio via Houzz // photographer: Zack Benson).
Having a color scheme established (gray and white) really helps narrow down my choices for decor. I still have quite a number of items to purchase but today, I wanted to share what I do have in mind already.
1) Paint Color (Valspar’s Gravity)
Choosing the right gray paint is no easy feat with all the options available (too many to decide) so I’m glad I narrowed down to this gorgeous color. It’s apparently one of Valspar’s most popular grays.)
Option 1 – I love the way this cabinet looks but I’m afraid the glass doors wouldn’t work well in our bathroom. Ideally, I’d like a cabinet to store the “not so pretty things” out of sight.
Option 2 – I love that this cabinet has doors that conceal products but also has an open shelf area at the bottom. This is probably the more practical choice. Under $100, that’s a deal!
3) Bath Rugs
I love plush-feeling bath rugs so I’m leaning towards bath mats that are soft and fuzzy. How cute is this rug below? Gotta love the “You look great” statement!
You know I love myself some geometric patterns so this gray and white rug would also work wonderfully in our bathroom makeover.

Before I close today’s post, I’d like to thank American Standard for being a sponsor of my spring 2018 guest participation in the One Room Challenge! I can’t wait to replace our old toilet with a new one from American Standard.

Love that bath mat! 🙂
Can’t go wrong with gray and white! One of my favorite design combos!
I love the cabinet with the glass doors! I always think glass insets make a piece look fancy.
This is exciting to see all your ideas. I’m looking forward to watching this come together.

I love your design plan, grey and white is so classy
I’m glad I’m not the only one who takes pictures of hotel bathrooms! Haha maybe it’s because of the toiletries from five people scattered around the bathroom that I love a clean and simple look so much! Your inspiration Photos are beautiful – I can’t wait to see how this comes together.
I really like your fresh and clean design – love the bath mat!
